Satyarth Shaurya Singh (IN)

Satyarth Shaurya Singh is an independent filmmaker based in New Delhi, India. Having studied in Symbiosis Institute of Design and interned in different companies in Delhi, he started his own independent studio – Lights On Films – in January 2012.

Over the past three years, Satyarth has worked with a number of musicians in the industry – independent as well as commercial. Deeply inspired by the idea of documenting changing urban culture in terms of art, design, and music, he has made a number of documentaries and short films around topics such as mountain biking, bboying, music, design and self-sustainability in Auroville, street art, skateboarding, and so on.

Satyarth has recently completed his first short fiction film, Alfiya – a collaborative, yet completely in-house project of Light On Films.

Short films are, in Satyarth's opinion, an extremely strong medium for conveying one's message or story to viewers – especially in an age when connectivity and technology play a vital role in creating content and communicating it effectively. He believes that with time, a culture in which people actually value short films enough to pay to attend screenings, will be established.

Lights On Films (LOF) is an independent Film studio based out of New Delhi, India. Starting off in 2012, with documenting the independent music scene in Delhi, Lights On Films has since produced short films, music videos, documentaries, travelogues depicting music, and urban art and culture all around the country.
